Feel free to add more Scripture as proof.

Exodus 31:16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever.

Romans 9:6 But it is not as though the word of God has failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel, 7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his offspring, but “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.

Two more Scriptures that prove that the Sabbath wasn't done away with during NT times onward.
 
I am not seeing the connection between these passages. :scratch:

Do you think that these passages assert that those who are in the covenant of grace are bound to keep the Sabbath as a sign of the covenant or something to that effect?

God commanded the people of Israel to keep the Sabbath as a covenant forever. Some might say it was only to the Israelites that he gave this command, but Romans identifies the people of Israel as those who are the children of the promise. So if all Christians are the true people of Israel and the Sabbath was a covenant which would last forever, then it's proof that the Sabbath wasn't done away with.
